Environmental Law

We consult companies, in particular, on environmental law issues related to facilities, equipment and products. This includes assistance with emissions control and water rights proceedings for both production of raw materials and sewage disposal. This also includes the support of production companies, for example, with issues regarding legislation governing chemicals and recycling and waste management. Further, we assist businesses with the decontamination of contaminated industrial sites.

We support our clients in properly fulfilling their legal responsibilities and represent their interests regarding official requirements both in court and out-of-court. With our experience in environmental and criminal law, we are also capable of competently defending the rights of our clients in administrative offense and criminal proceedings.
